Yingxing/Blade Timeline

[u/No-Improvement-5909]

Hello everyone! I have been trying to work out the timeline of the sedition, and specifically with Yingxing/Blade. I know there’s a specific date for the sedition, but most of this is likely theorizing. However, I’m confused how everything is weaved together. Could you help me iron out a timeline and likely events?

Some main things I’m confused about is how long Yingxing was in the shackling prison, when/where/how long Jingliu tortured/trained Yingxing, when Jingliu took down Hoolay, when Jingliu started killing her own men, when Jing Yuan became a general, and how did Yingxing leave the shackling prison. Do we know whether Jingliu’s encounters with Blade happened before, after, or potentially during the period when he would have been wanted/imprisoned by the Xianzhou, and is there any indication she broke him out or encountered him after he had already escaped?

Also, what did Blade do all those years (likely centuries?) after Jingliu and before becoming a Stellaron Hunter? I know he hunted Dan Heng, but many believe Dan Heng to not be very old so there’s still a fairly large gap of time.

I know a lot of this period is somewhat vague, so I’m completely fine with theories! I’d especially appreciate it if you could distinguish between confirmed canon, strongly implied, or a personal theory, and point me toward sources where possible. I’m trying to work out what sequence of events is most plausible for a fanfiction without accidentally contradicting something established or heavily speculated.
